I didn't think HKS painted their stuff black. That is what made me wonder. Now that I think about it, I remember seeing Pace setter stuff being black. Thanks man.

The ad says it's already welded up. Which means there is no way you're gonna be able to install it unless you cut off the muffler and have it rewelded.

You can install it w/o cutting, all you need to do is remove that bracket the holds the exhaust just incase it falls

How do you get it threaded over the rear axle? It's hard enough trying to remove the one-piece oem b-pipe, even when it doesn't have a muffler on the end of it.

I think the seller has alot of feedback to by lying to it's buyers. The exhaust could be painted. I do know Pacesetter's exhausts come painted black. I am just not ready to call bs yet. If you are really interested, email the seller.

pacesetter has yellow on the inside of their tips too.
Why don't you e-mail the seller and ask to a pic of the HKS logo, or part number

I hope someone doesn't buy it thinking it really is an HKS. How can this make anyone think twice about it being HKS, they only make rear sections for a 95-96 right (correct me if im wrong). This thing is deff. Pace Setter, no if, ands, or butts. Maybe the seller is legit, and just made an honest mistake?

That also looks like some really skinny piping. Maybe two ". Also, those two hanger type things next to the gasket don't look familiar.
